Safelife,
Just apply directly to the Norwegian 787 position in Bangkok if you meet the minimums, stay 3 years, and then get a 777 or another 787 job somewhere else...
The fact that Norwegian's management is even trying this is just ballsey in my opinion. They are asking for a fight. Yes, I would be upset and pi$$ed if I were a Norwegian pilot right now.
Norwegian's exporting of longhaul flying opportunities is not a good precedent for other airline pilot groups either. What's next? Iberia exporting international operations (A340 jobs) to pilots based in Colombia or Venezuela? Certainly could find cheaper pilots in those locations....
